Author Neil Spagna announced that the long awaited update to his award-winning first book, Welcome To Pottersville, will be published in hardcover to coincide with the beginning of the 2008 baseball season.
Tentatively scheduled for an April 28 release date, the book will include insights on the September collapse of the New York Mets, the Mitchell Report, and the current state and future of New York baseball as the final season of both Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium commences.
The book, originally planned for an October 2007 initial publishing run was postponed by the author. In a press release, he said, “I thought I had a manuscript that was ready for the marketplace. Then the sudden September collapse of the Mets and the release of the Mitchell Report and all of the controversies surrounding illegal substances in baseball made the book seem aged before its time. I couldn’t see a book about New York baseball without tying in these topics in some sort of meaningful way,” said Spagna. “I feel good about the results.”
